The thing about white privilege is I have no control over who gives me the privilege.
We white guys can acknowledge our privilege until the cows come home it's not going to change how we are perceived. It's up to the people giving us the advantages to stop giving us the advantages or the people who control the privilege need to give it to more than just white dudes.
Yes. I know it's up to the majority white males to stop discrimination because we are the ones who have the power and control all the institutions that matter.
Now I just wish I'd get some of that power, money or something, because I've been out of work for a couple of years and I don't see any Knight on a white horse coming to elevate me to my rightful place amongst the privileged.
Yes, the white boy's blues are all second hand but it still hurts when you got them and no matter how much Tom Yorke and Eminem try they'll never be Marvin Gaye or Biggie Smalls.
I can acknowledge my life as a white boy has some advantages but I'd respectfully ask that you not hold how others perceive me against me.
